Description du lieu patrimonial
The Rudy-Snyder House is located at 268 Southampton Place, on the northeast corner of Newport Place and Southampton Place, in the City of Waterloo. This two-storey fieldstone building was designed in the Georgian style and constructed in 1847.
The property was designated, by the City of Waterloo for its historic value, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, By-law 77-187.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Rudy-Snyder House is significant for its association with traditional Mennonite practices. The farmhouse was built in 1847 by Daniel Rudy, the son of a Pennsylvanian Mennonite. The house was designed in the plain Georgian style and typical of early Mennonite homes, its orientation is south-facing. Daniel carved his name and year of construction to the right of the second floor door. The house features a symmetrical five bay front and a bell-tower. The bell was used to call the men in from the fields.
In 1870 Daniel's son David Rudy took over the farmstead. He built a brick doddy house for his parents, which allowed them to have separate quarters, as well as access to the main house. Also at this time, the veranda, the two-over-two sash windows, and possibly the summer kitchen, were added. As was the custom, plaster was used to cover the stone wall under the front veranda roof.
